PCV is an important vaccine that prevents ear infections pneumonias and blood infection, it should certainly be done, in fact the Government of India has started doing this free of cost in certain States including Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh, eventually the entire country would be covered but for your child you need to get it done in private sector
